Scipio Africanus – Part 14 (The Battle of Ilipa)
Episode 47
Thursday, 24 September, 2026

In April 206 BC, at the Battle of Ilipa, Scipio faces the Carthaginians one final time for control of Hispania. Despite the Romans being heavily outnumbered, he orchestrates an absolute tactical masterpiece. From the opening cavalry clash, through days of clever manoeuvring, culminating in his brilliant ploy to overturn the order of battle and shatter the Punic army. A crushing victory that leaves Carthage politically isolated and clinging to a toehold in Spain. Yet before the dust has even settled, with Scipio already looking ahead to Africa, determined to invade Carthage on its home soil.
